Jul 10, 22:13:34 GMT+0 - Identified - Our monitoring system has alerted us to a degraded CMOS battery inside the TX-K2 VPS node, which is hosting at least one of your servers. We have scheduled our technician in Dallas to replace the battery on Sunday, July 12th at 10:00 AM CST. The TX-K2 VPS node will need to be shut down temporarily to facilitate the battery replacement, which should only take about 5 to 10 minutes. After the battery is replaced, the node will be powered back on, and all servers will boot back up automatically. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
